About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Getting ready to travel the world with my backpack, for a year!

ABOUT ME

After three years and a half in Boston, I decided to hit the road and go travel the World for a year.
I plan to visit South America, South East Asia, Australia, and New Zealand.

I share the values of the couch surfers and looking forward to meeting interesting people that I will learn from!

I also cook, and play the guitar. I'll be happy to cook for you when I'll show up :-)

PHILOSOPHY

"Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend -- or a meaningful day."

"We have bigger houses but smaller families; more conveniences, but less time; We have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge, but less judgment; more experts, but more problems; more medicines, but less healthiness; We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor. We built more computers to hold more information to produce more copies than ever, but have less communication; We have become long on quantity, but short on quality. These are times of fast foods but slow digestion; Tall man but short character; Steep profits but shallow relationships. It's a time when there is much in the window, but nothing in the room."

Dalai Lama

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to meet members, share experiences, and learn from others.
Once I'll be done with traveling myself, I'd like to offer my couch for others to visit and enjoy the place where I leave.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None so far...
I should start my world tour sometime in February 2010.
